There are good and evil in human nature, just like day and night, so there are good people and bad people in our society.
A person, who only knows the goodness of human nature, imagines everyone as a good person, which is too simple and easy to be deceived; It is not advisable for a person who has seen too many people being evil to imagine everyone as a bad person, which is too negative.
A true master should be able to read the laws of human nature and love life. It's like, we don't have to be bad guys ourselves, but we need to know the tricks of bad guys.
When people reach middle age, they can understand these three "evils of human nature" as soon as possible, and our minds are more mature. Let's take a look!
0 1, indifferent
Because everyone has selfish nature, everyone cares more about themselves and doesn't really care about the pain of others; Even if you try to care about others, you won't really feel the same way. As Mr. Lu Xun said: human emotions are not connected, and there has never been so-called empathy!
Sister Xianglin in Lu Xun's works is so pitiful, but almost no one cares about her. Sister Xianglin told everyone about her tragic fate, but in others' eyes, it was all a joke, because human nature was selfish and indifferent. The spectators attacked by Mr. Lu Xun are also full of the evil of human nature-indifference.
People should help and care for each other, which is the embodiment of civilized society and the goodness of human nature. As Mencius said, those who love others will always love others, and those who respect others will always respect others.
However, there is also an evil side in human nature. The antonym of love is indifference, and an indifferent person means that love is dead.
In today's society, people's concern is becoming more and more indifferent. Everyone seems to only care about their family of three. Even if they saw the old man fall on the road, they pretended not to see anything.
In fact, this is an abnormal phenomenon and a manifestation of the evil of human nature. Moreover, indifference will spread like a virus, and finally make truly caring people feel lonely and even resentful.
Imagine: if everyone is selfish and only cares about themselves, regardless of other people's life and death, can we really live safely and happily in such a society?
As the writer Zhou said, indifference is really terrible for individuals and society. It makes individuals lose the meaning of life and causes a moral crisis in society. In my opinion, one of the most shocking phenomena in today's society is people's indifference.
02. alert
Jealousy, also known as "fierce eyes", mostly occurs among acquaintances, mostly because of psychological imbalance, so some people regard "being unfriendly to people around them" as the greatest stupidity and evil in human nature.
Philosopher Bacon said: People can allow a stranger to get rich, but they can't forgive the rise of a person around them. Because there are contrasts and conflicts of interest between people at the same level, strangers do not have this problem.
For example, if you put five crabs in a basket, no crab can't climb out without a lid. Because crabs, like people, are jealous and can't see the kindness of their companions, whenever they see their companions trying to climb out, they drag their hind legs and let them fall.
This cycle, in the end, no one wants to be good, no one can climb out. This is a bit like the "mutual harm at the bottom" of human society. The more we are in the same boat, the more we are jealous of each other and let each other stumble.
Smart people often praise each other; Stupid people often step on each other.
And the more acquaintances, the easier it is to be jealous, resulting in the evil of human nature. For example, those who stab people in the back are often acquaintances; Most crimes occur between acquaintances. Therefore, the ancients warned us that it is better to be close to the tiger, and acquaintances are not amiable.
Between acquaintances, we are very familiar. If one day a colleague suddenly wins the lottery, a classmate becomes rich and a relative gets mixed up, we will be more or less jealous.
I still wonder: why are they so lucky? Why can others succeed but not themselves? Before, there was a nanny in Hangzhou who was jealous of her employer and finally embarked on the road of crime, all because of the evil of human nature-jealousy played a bad role.
Almost everyone is jealous, because everyone can't help but have a heart of comparison. Because of this, jealousy is listed as one of the seven deadly sins in the west, and Bacon also said: Love and jealousy are the two most confusing emotions.
Jealousy often happens between acquaintances who have a certain emotional foundation-lovers, relatives and friends. Between colleagues, because it involves the distribution of interests, it is also a period of high incidence of jealousy. It can be said that as long as there are people, there is intersection between people, and it is easy to produce jealousy.
A person is jealous because he can't get something, so he will feel pain; The more painful, the stronger the jealousy. Therefore, jealous people are not only destroying others, but also torturing themselves. What's more, jealous people will develop into psychopaths. We can often see in court dramas that some concubines will use some very vicious means in order to compete for favor, that is, jealousy, the evil of human nature, has played a bad role.
Jealousy, like the "heart of hatred" in Buddhism, is easy to poison the body and mind. Everyone should try to quit it and cultivate a heart full of rivers.
03. Build your happiness on the pain of others.
Selfishness is human nature, and moderate selfishness is also allowed by society. However, it is inhuman and hateful to be too selfish, to harm others and to base one's happiness on others' suffering.
For example, some square dance aunts only care about their own happiness, regardless of noise disturbing the people, and even don't listen to dissuasion the day before the college entrance examination. This kind of person is an egoist with exquisite attributes, and the great evil of human nature flows in him.
In addition, in some school bullying incidents, some students slapped other students in public, laughed and posted them online to satisfy their vanity. This kind of person has almost lost the most basic human nature, and it is extremely hateful to build his happiness on the suffering of others.
Not long ago, I saw this scene on the internet: a Beijing opera actress knelt on the stage as if she had just finished performing. It is estimated that when the audience was tasting wine, someone directly carried a basket of crayfish next to the actress, which scared the actress to be at a loss.
The more the actress shows fear, the more excited the audience around her, and the louder the noise. As everyone knows, these unqualified viewers have also committed the evil of human nature, and it is extremely hateful to build their own happiness on the suffering of others.
People can be called people, not animals, because people have the most basic human nature and dare not hurt their own kind casually.
Mencius said: Everyone has compassion, or he is an animal. Therefore, it is the greatest evil of human nature to base one's happiness on the happiness of others without basic kindness and compassion.
Conclusion:
The evil of human nature is almost based on selfishness, which is also an instinct of human beings as animals.
Indifference belongs to a kind of low-level selfishness, which is the first level of evil human nature, at least not hurting others;
Jealousy is a kind of intermediate selfishness, which is regarded as the second evil of human nature, because it may hurt others and will inevitably hurt itself;
However, it is the highest selfishness to build your own happiness on the suffering of others. This kind of person despises the same kind, treats others as human beings, and is full of the worst side of human nature, which is often easy to arouse public anger.
The evil of human nature is divided into three levels. How many have you met? Welcome to leave a message below to interact.
